As the gold standard in laboratory settings, where in the slightest change of micrograms may ruin an entire day’s worth of work, the High Precision Balance provides the ultimate solution to mass calculation.
With its innovative use of force compensation technology, this device combines the best of both worlds: high capacity and high resolution. This particular product has been built with the needs of the pharmaceutical, textiles, chemistry, and quality control industries in mind.
How it works
Core Product Architecture and Technology
1. Electromagnetic Force Compensation Technology (EMFC)
While conventional scales depend on the deformation of the structure for their operation, the Quantum Series uses EMFC technology in their advanced weighing cells. Placing the object under measurement onto the high-quality stainless steel weighing platform causes it to apply downward force onto the levers inside the device. The device then responds immediately by generating more electricity into an internal electromagnet to balance the levers.
2. Monolithic Block Construction
The heart of the digital precision balance is milled by CNC from a monolith of high tensile aluminum alloy used in the aerospace industry. This construction makes the unit jointless and thus free of friction. The result is that the balance achieves maximal stability, stabilization within 1.2 seconds, and strong protection against mechanical shocks that can exceed maximum load by up to 150%.
Advanced Performance Features
Fully Automatic Internal Calibration (isoCAL)
External factors like changing room temperature and micro changes in gravity can affect the operation of highly sensitive scales. Quantum Series solves the problem of user calibration error with a built-in motorized test-weight system.
The balance will constantly check for changes in ambient temperature conditions. Whenever there is any change in temperature beyond 1.5 degrees centigrade or after some specific time period, the machine automatically runs through a hidden calibration process, without the need for any external manual calibration.
Anti-Static Glass Draft Shield
With a readability level of 0.1 mg, air drafts and static electricity may cause erratic readings on digital display devices. This balance has an anti-static glass draft shield which is fully transparent with three sides of protection.
The shielding system ensures that static charges are dissipated from the plastic tare buckets and that the weighing pan is totally isolated from any air currents. There are three doors that slide smoothly and provide easy ergonomic access from all directions.
Integrated Software and Applications Modes
The on-board software has an illuminated dot matrix screen that enables access to various specialized applications that include:
- Formulation and Recipe Management: Enables users to weigh up to 99 separate ingredients and add them to one tare weighing container, calculating the weight of each ingredient individually and the total weight of the batch.
- Density Measurement Mode: Includes software to perform hydrostatic weighing using density kits. The machine calculates density automatically by measuring the mass of the substance in the air and when submerged in a standard liquid.
- Dynamic / Biological Weighing Mode: Features the digital averaging filter technique, which gives the exact measurement of mass despite any movement of the object on the weighing platform within a specified time period.
Materials for testing on a High Precision balance
Following are some of the materials used to weigh and measure on electronic precision balance –
- Fine powders and granular reagents
- Hygroscopic materials
- Volatile liquids
- Solvents that evaporate much faster
- Corrosive liquids
Industry and Compliance Applications
Pharmaceuticals and GxP Compliance
The system is fully compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 and GLP/GMP regulations. The data logging process records an unalterable data string for every successful measurement, which contains information on the date, the present time, the operator ID, and the calibration status.
Textile Material and Accurate Formulation Analysis
This scale offers the precise measurement needed in testing for yarn count, fiber moisture regain, and formulation of dyes, where even an error of milligrams could lead to shade mismatching of samples.

Q : What is a High Precision Balance?
A : Ultra-precise balance refers to an extremely sensitive industrial balance scale used for measuring the mass of small items/substances with an extremely high level of precision. It is possible for such balances to measure very small amounts of substances as little as a tenth of a milligram (0.1mg), or even as little as a thousandth of a milligram (0.001mg).
Q : Why is a High Precision Balance important?
A : High precision balance is critical because it forms the last line of defense against accumulation of error. In applications like chemistry, medicine production, and materials fabrication, an initial mistake made at the onset of the process will be amplified the more that it is scaled, hence causing failure and other complications.
Q : Which industries use High Precision Balances?
A : Industrial areas where high precision balance is used often are Pharmaceutical industry, Biotechnology, Medical device making industries, Textile quality control and materials testing, Jewelry and gems industry, Food and beverage, and Cosmetic industries.
Q : How does a High Precision Balance work?
A : An Electromagnetic Force Compensation (EMFC) technology that does not wear down is employed for precision in laboratory balances.
Q : What materials can be weighed by the High Precision Balance?
A : Materials such as medical APIs, chemical reagents, salts, volatile solvents, precious stones, gold, etc., can be weighed with a high precision balance.
